In her fourth year of Sonlight, Abigail E of College Station, TX writes: "I love Sonlight because it does the planning for me! I don't have a teaching background and I was nervous about trying to pull together the right curriculum for my kids. Sonlight's Instructor's Guides with everything laid out day-by-day have been a lifesaver, and the notes they include have helped me become a better teacher. My kids get the benefit of a teacher who is confident and not always stressed out about lesson planning!" Abigail's three children love the freedom Sonlight gives to take their classroom anywhere they want to go. Here, Micah (8), Lizzie (6) and Jane (4) share their Sonlight books outside.

We knew we wanted to use a curriculum that was Christ-centered and literature-based that allowed for our children to also learn through play and the outdoors," writes Sarah R of Lancaster, OH. "I feel confident we are learning so much more through Sonlight's books and experiencing the world around us than we would learn from anything else.

"My son Will (7) is now reading very fluently and has read over 100 books this school year in addition to the books in the Language Arts component of Sonlight. He is doing so well using Math-U-See [as pictured here] and ARTistic Pursuits. He loves the Sonlight Science curriculum and says he wants to work for NASA. Juanita, (3) [not pictured] loves to listen in. As we learn together as a family, she is learning to love God and learning."

We switched to Sonlight Core A last year, and that changed everything. Mom and children love doing school. Mom loves the binder [Instructor's Guide] with the planned school year, and everyone loves the living books! Angela (7, Core B) has been loving Sonlight for two years and especially enjoys the fully illustrated History books.

Your children will love learning language arts naturally...

And you'll love teaching this way!With Sonlight's newly redesigned Language Arts program, your students will enjoy learning with the "natural method." With expert help from Dr. Ruth Beechick, we've created a fresh and appealing program you can use to help your children develop all their language arts skills.

They will learn good writing from good models, just the way many great writers (such as Benjamin Franklin) taught themselves. Daily experience and practice are the keys to this well-paced schedule of connected writing activities. As your students progress through Levels K-6 they advance from basic writing to analysis, while reinforcing what they learn from the books you read together.

Language Arts is easier to learn— and easier to teach— than ever. To learn more about how this massive update will help you unlock the power of language for your students, read the full article here.
